The AFL wants 22 teams. Name your next four.

I haven't seen any proposal that would even come close to getting half that.
That's because there is none.
WA3 would struggle to get 20k a week for the first decade. Within 20 years they might crack 40k to some games, maybe even average that.
But why bother when Canberra can get 20k+ week in, week out from day one, and be a sustainable club from the high demand for tickets they'd get being the only team in a town that can afford the ticket prices.

Let me see:
Perth, an AFL city, a growing city, a growing economy, already with a 60,000 capacity stadium
Canberra, rugby city, pretty small and transient population, with 13,000 capacity stadium
Geez...tough choice!

1. Tasmania (Van Diemen's Devils)
2. Perth 3 (Perth Dolphins)
3. Canberra-Riverena (Rams)
4. Northern (Townsville-Cairns-Darwin-Alice Springs) (Crocodiles)

Jon Ralph reckons WA3 should be somewhere like Geraldton, Eddie reckons GWS should play 11 games in WSyd and 11 in Canberra. I reckon both of them should get off the pipe.

Why do people suggest NT? lol.
More likely to get government support there than anywhere else in Aus.
I doubt a third team in NSW, Qld, SA or WA will ever be successful or able to stand on its own two feet

But you think AUCKLAND will?
a 3rd team in WA or SA will be 5 times more successful than a NT team...
Lol Port were struggling financially a few years back. The population is stagnant in SA and Perth we are still waiting for the arrival of the Dockers 25 years on. Where are the fans coming from in either city?
Auckland opens the game up to a new TV market. There is a community level football there and have been for over 100 years.
How much do you think a NT team would struggle financially if Port Adelaide did? Think about it for a moment.
There is zero demand for a third South Australian side.
Why have a team in a market that is already served by by two teams that has zero growth potential?
At least a NT team stands a chance of getting government support that a third Adelaide team won’t get.
I'm not saying I want a 3rd SA team... just it would be a far better option than a NT team.
Can you imagine trying to get elite players to live in NT? lmao. The place is a literal s**t hole

Crocodiles is such a god awful mascot and name, what an unimaginative failure.

It’s wrong to assume that the Dockers need to be winning flags to be considered an established club. There’s an argument to be made that they’re the 3rd biggest non-Vic club in the league after West Coast and Adelaide.
Different people like different things. Heaps of blokes travel up to play in the summer league and love it.
Also with brands wanting to seem socially responsible these days there is more appeal in sponsoring an NT side because of the potential social benefit it has in the community
